Howdy all, There's going to be a free Renewable Energy & Transportation Fair this Saturday in Rancho Palos Verdes (adjacent to Torrance and Redondo Beach)....

Can you explain why BEVs don't dominate in Japan? 1. Japan has no major oil companies to conspire against BEVs 2. Cobasys does not restrict large format NiMH...

... <snip> There must be something here that I'm missing. If the 'fuel cell Volt' is too expensive for volume production, why would China want it? Can anyone...

And nobody seems to have noticed it: http://www.maranello4cycle.com/en/energia/scb.php Many won't call this a "car" ;-), and in fact it is not a car but a...
Yes, the spirit is there, but it is a normal size car we are looking for. Something at pair with a Camry and able to give the same speed as a Camry. This...
This is a quote from their website: "A revolution which allows you to drive in restricted traffic zones while respecting the environment. And when you're out...
With fuel prices in flux and environmental concerns deepening, the seductive song of the hybrid sirens is louder than ever, despite increasing skepticism about...
By making such batteries safer, the new material could help clear the way for the widespread use of lithium-ion batteries in hybrid and electric vehicles. ...
Greetings. I am new to the group but am looking for input regarding the SUV group of hybrids as I live 30 miles from my work site and sometimes need 4 wheel...
The Volt is a plug-in serial hybrid EV, able to run in all speed ranges just on the motor and battery alone. For occasional long trips, the engine-generator...
There is a nasty flaw in your reasoning, besides the fact that you draw conclusions without having the inside scoop - which often leads to mis-interpreting ...
There's no flaw in my reasoning. There's a flaw in GM's sob story. GM is verbally committed, but talk is cheap. They have not explained why they won't use...
Well, call it a flaw in the physics, then. If the pack is one-fourth the size of a RAV4 EV NiMH pack, it will be six batteries, 72V. That would get you about...
Interesting. Then the Prius must be impossible, since its battery pack is only 72 pounds, only 1.3 kWh, and only 25 kW. Time to recall all those impossible...
Note that the Prius does not have any significant power in EV mode, and it's not a serial hybrid like the Volt. Decent acceleration, hill climbing, and...
... Hi Doug, OK, now we are getting somewhere with this argument. I happen to have a Prius as well as an EV, so I can give you some data if you like. Toyota...
The strictures on the Prius battery have nothing to do with battery life; that groups was ignorant of the results attained by the RAV4-EV group. There is no...
You can dispose of the metal cover over the battery, you CANNOT remove the end blocks and bolts to compress the modules, or they will burst during their first...
You have no evidence that the cycle life will be impaired, other than the speculation of Bob Klutz. Here's a hint: just add a small engine-generator to a real...
The hint obviously will work.. But a real EV has at least twice as much battery capacity as the proposed serial plug-in hybrids. Reducing battery capacity...
... Now you are speculating. ... I like to see your reference to the evidence that NiMH can be used at 3x the power level that the Prius does and still give...
ARB "expert panel" devolved a graph showing that gas had to get to $3.50 before the payback for a BEV would make sense. But really, the cost profile is...
According to a story today by seekingalpha.com, GM and Ford may not be in this business too much longer, and perhaps should not be trusted so much. GM, back...
